Hyde
Park was recently the subject of a council dispute in which Westminster Council ruled events will be cut in both size and number in future. This ruling will not significantly
affect Hyde Park events until 2013.

The band's official Facebook page posted the poster and this comment: "We're
rowing in.. going for gold.. grabbing the baton.. for the high jump.. No, hang on, is that right? Fact is, Blur have accepted the invite to headline the Olympics' Closing
Ceremony Celebration Concert in Hyde Park on 12th August."

Tickets for Blur
at the BT London Live Closing Ceremony Celebration Concert go on sale on Friday (February 24) at
9am but BT customers have exclusive 48 hour priority access to buy them first from 9am
on Wednesday 22 February. Tickets cost £55 plus booking fee.
